Some guy tried to sell me some at a gas station, too. I was in my Jeep, literally dripping with mud. He polished a small area and I was impressed- till he told me he wanted $18/can. No sale.


Fast forward a year and for my birthday, my wife gives me this gift/box set of- yup, this brand's stuff- wax, tire dressing, gp cleaner, glass cleaner, like 6 cans total plus a couple microfiber towels.


I give the woman a hard time, got suckered, etc... bastid sold her everything, plus an extra can of the wax... for $40. At the gas station, of course...


This stuff kicks ***!!! I like it better than the $20 meguires wax I bought (what a burn that was). The tire dressing sucks ***, but it's good for spraying up inside the wheel wells...


I use the wax on the body, wheels, did the glass once but now use RainX. The real cool thing is if you get it on black or rubber parts, it wipes right off, unlike normal waxes.


So, ya... good stuff. (send your woman... they seem to get the deal!!)

i did not use it on my windows or paint because i use the claybar and showtime shine or whatever it is. but he did spray a lil spot on my window and when he was done he touched it and it wouldn't leave fingerprints on the windows. i just figured his hands were dry or whatever. he was tryin to sell me 2 cans for $25 and i said no. i said 1 can for ten and then we went from there. it really does work though. i'm impressed.


i am now a salesman for this stuff, who wants to buy some? JUST KIDDING!!!!!

They were selling this at the gas station on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar several months ago. I bought two cans for $20-22. It works pretty good for spot cleaning. Don't know if you guys have every had a motorcycle but Honda used to sell something just like this at their parts department "Honda Polish". Used it periodically to shine up my bike. Spot clean the cowl, tank, etc. Works great but you don't want to use it all the time due to wax build up. Honda used to sell it for $20 for about a 20oz can. So, if you can get two cans of this stuff or $20, buy it.

I used it on my CTS-V wheels and it helped very little to keep the brake dust off my wheels. The V's wheels are just destined to get dusty. At least they stop good!

As for the CTS-V paint. Used it as I said to spot clean and it works good. Used it on my Camaro too.

Just another opinion.

Just another opinion.
The polish used to be called Honda Pro Polish and it rocked and smelled great, then Honda changed suppliers. The new stuff is not as good. The original manufacturer started offering the original formula under its own brand Original Bike Sprits. It's great stuff, way better than Honda's current offering.

I bought the Eagle One stuff that's supposed to keep the brake dust off your wheels..... I waited 30 mins after applying and followed all the directions to a T.....turned from a white glaze to almost invisible, not near as good as the ones on the bottle of course...It was a complete waste of $$$$, did not keep wheels clean whatsoever

That stuff in a can is supposed to be a wash without water. When a guy wants to use a nasty dirt filled rag to test his product on my clean V you get the KISS MY A$$. For the wheels Meguiars all wheel cleaner which is no touch cleaner then hit it with chrome polish and you have non sticking brake dust. For use on chrome spokes only. Best of the best.
